A duo of EU07 (running numbers #215 and #242 - both once assigned to Gdynia depot in one Polish State Railways times) as TrackTec Logistics train with a load of hydrotechnical stone in low-sided coal cars leased from Nacco, is going between Jaworzyna Śląska and Żarów stations. June 27, 2015.
TrackTec Logistics was established to secure the transport of TrackTec's core business, i.e. the production of prestressed concrete sleepers and ready turnouts. However, the delay in investment programs on railroads in Poland meant that the investment was far too early and the owner became frantically finding any employment of leased resources. That meant TrackTec had to compete on the market in segments that it never wanted to be present. The story was quite simple - to get anything from the market TrackTec offered substantially lower prices that in short led it bankrupted. The good old "rise and fall" in the next edition. Yet couple years after company's bankrupcy one could spot black locomotives with TrackTec logo, though each of them is at overhaul they are repainted into livery of Cargounit, the owner of the locomotives.

Duet siódemek 215 i 242 (obydwie kiedyś stacjonowały w Gdyni) pod banderą TrackTec Logistics z ładunkiem kamienia hydrotechnicznego w niskoburtowych węglarkach dzierżawionych od Nacco, przemierzają szlak Jaworzyna Śląska - Żarów. 27 czerwca 2015 roku.
TrackTec Logistics został powołany, by zabezpieczyć transportowo podstawową działność TrackTecu, czyli produkcję podkładó strunobetonowych oraz gotowych rozjazdów. Jednak opóźnienie w programach inwestycyjnych na kolei w POlsce spowodowało, że z planowanej dużej roboty przy tych inwestycjach nic nie wyszło. Poszukując roboty, TrackTec Logistics zaczął gorączkowo poszukiwać roboty na rynku, demolując na nim ceny i doprowadzając się do bankructwa. Stare dobre "rise and fall" w kolejnym wydaniu. Dzisiaj można wciąż spotkać czarne siódemki, chociaż w ramach napraw są one sukcesywnie przemalowywane w kolory Cargounit (dobrze, że przynajmniej tło zostało czarne).

Es maravilloso comprobar que aún existen paises en los que se apuesta por el material convencional. Francia es uno de ellos aunque hay que reconocer que estos trenes también aquí experimentan un claro retroceso. No obstante, durante la Semana Blanca los trenes formados por coches y locomotoras viven una espectacular apoteosis materializada en la circulación de tres trenes charter de 14 coches a los que se suma el Intercities Nuit diario reforzado hasta alcanzar los 10 coches. Un espectáculo grandioso que reúne a muchos aficionados llegados de toda Europa y que justifica, como fue mi caso, recorrer más de 1000 kilómetros para disfrutarlo en vivo. Basta decir que este fue el tren más "soso" que vimos el sábado aunque la mejor luz del día coincidió con su aparición.
It is wonderful to see that there are still countries where they believe in trains of conventional material. France is one of them although it is necessary to recognize that these trains here also experience a clear setback. Nevertheless, during the White Week the trains formed by cars and locomotives live a spectacular apotheosis materialized in the circulation of three charter trains of 14 cars to which adds the daily Intercities Nuit reinforced until reaching the 10 cars. A great show that brings together many fans from all over Europe and justifies, as was my case, travel more than 1000 kilometers to enjoy it live. It is very significant that this was the most "boring" train we saw on Saturday although the best light of day coincided with its appearance.
Brickell Key is largely regarded as paradise in the heart of Miami. It has come a long way from being an aggregation of discarded dredge material. Like so many islands found in Biscayne Bay, Brickell Key is a man-made creation.
When the Brickell's arrived at the south side of the Miami River in 1871, William Brickell built a home and trading post. The location of these buildings would later be referred to as Brickell Point. When the Brickell's looked east from their home, they saw nothing but bay water from Brickell Point to the peninsula that would later become Miami Beach. It wasn’t until Henry Flagler began to develop the city of Miami in 1896 that that view started to change. Flagler’s team removed a sand bar at the mouth of the Miami River. The team also used a dredge to deepen the river and bay adjacent to Flagler’s Royal Palm Hotel to create the first port of Miami.
The dredging of the Miami River was a point of contention for William Brickell. As part of the effort to deepen the Miami River, those that Flagler put in charge of dredging began to dump limestone and river silt along and just off the shore east of the Brickell property. It was the discard off the shoreline that began to create the first of two spoil islands.
During the dredging of the Miami Canal in 1912, the larger of two spoil islands ended up being expanded with additional river discard. The downstream dredge activity created a lot of free river silt that made its way to the mouth of the Miami River. This silt was then gathered and dumped in the area of the spoil islands. At this time, a smaller spoil island was forming to the southeast of the larger island. It was believed to have come from digging out a vessel that went aground on that spot.
By 1914, the widowed Mary Brickell was quite wealthy from land transactions. During the summer of that year, she had offered to remove the spoil islands at her own expense. The spoil islands were considered a nuisance and even Dr. James Jackson, the physician for the Royal Palm Hotel and later the namesake for Jackson Memorial Hospital, declared the islands to be a menace to the health and welfare of the public. The islands were considered unsightly, difficult to navigate and possessing an unpleasant odor. Mary Brickell had intended to pump the spoil material of the islands into some low lying areas on her property. However, there was enough opposition to her proposal that it was not accepted.
The fate of the islands changed in 1916. By late spring, the Florida Internal Improvement Fund (FII), placed in ad to solicit bids for the land mass. Bids ranged from $10.10 to $3000 per acre for the five acre island. Mary Brickell’s bid was $750 for the entire parcel. Her bid was not the winning bid. On June 21st, 1916, the IIF trustees accepted the highest bid and ordered a deed to be issued to Mrs. M.R. Burlingame.
Mrs. Burlingame was a business woman who moved to Miami from Michigan. She was one of the few women to own an advertising agency at the time. Mrs. Burlingame was a big proponent of promoting Miami as a year round living destination. It was her intention to annex the smaller spoil island and to ultimately build her home on the combined islands. However, prior to the end of June in 1916, Mary Brickell filed suit to challenge the deed issued to Mrs. Burlingame.
The law suit filed by Mary Brickell was finally settled in 1918. The Florida Supreme Court declared in favor of Mrs. Burlingame and a deed was finally and officially issued. By 1920, Burlingame announced her intention to build a hotel or apartment house on the island. The island was referred to as Burlingame Island. In April of 1922, the War Department (later managed by the Army Corp of Engineers), issued a permit for a bulk head and fill of the five acre island. This work was scheduled to be complete by the end of 1922.
However, by 1924, nothing was ever developed on the island. It was eventually sold to E.J. Reed of Miami, who filed for a permit to fill a much larger, triangular-shaped island. There was no evidence that this permit was ever granted, but the request provided a preview to how future plans would influence the shape of today’s Claughton Island.
Through the remainder of the 1920s, not much had changed on Burlingame Island. There was no development and it was said that trees began taking over the topology. Some would say that the island belonged to the raccoons and rats. Ownership changed again in 1932 when R.P. Clark purchased the island. His dredging company was responsible for enlarging the island to 20.7 acres. Mr. Clark owned the island until January 1937.
In the late 1970s, Swire Properties bought most of the island from Claughton. Since then, the island has been built out with some of the tallest buildings in Miami, and the Mandarin Oriental, Miami hotel, mainly during the condo "Manhattanization" wave of the 2000s.

Thatching methods have traditionally been passed down from generation to generation, and numerous descriptions of the materials and methods used in Europe over the past three centuries survive in archives and early publications.
In some equatorial countries, thatch is the prevalent local material for roofs, and often walls. There are diverse building techniques from the ancient Hawaiian hale shelter made from the local ti leaves (Cordyline fruticosa), lauhala (Pandanus tectorius) or pili grass (Heteropogon contortus).
The multi-tiered Meru towers of Besakih temple, Bali, uses black ijuk fibres.
Palm leaves are also often used. For example, in Na Bure, Fiji, thatchers combine fan palm leaf roofs with layered reed walls. Feathered palm leaf roofs are used in Dominica. Alang-alang (Imperata cylindrica) thatched roofs are used in Hawaii and Bali. In Southeast Asia, mangrove nipa palm leaves are used as thatched roof material known as attap dwelling. In Bali, Indonesia, the black fibres of Arenga pinnata called ijuk is also used as thatched roof materials, usually used in Balinese temple roof and meru towers. Sugar cane leaf roofs are used in Kikuyu tribal homes in Kenya.
Wild vegetation such as water reed (Phragmites australis), bulrush/cat tail (Typha spp.), broom (Cytisus scoparius), heather (Calluna vulgaris), and rushes (Juncus spp. and Schoenoplectus lacustris) was probably used to cover shelters and primitive dwellings in Europe in the late Palaeolithic period, but so far no direct archaeological evidence for this has been recovered. People probably began to use straw in the Neolithic period when they first grew cereals—but once again, no direct archaeological evidence of straw for thatching in Europe prior to the early medieval period survives.
Many indigenous people of the Americas, such as the former Maya civilization, Mesoamerica, the Inca empire, and the Triple Alliance (Aztec), lived in thatched buildings. It is common to spot thatched buildings in rural areas of the Yucatán Peninsula as well as many settlements in other parts of Latin America, which closely resemble the method of construction from distant ancestors. The first Americans encountered by Europeans lived in structures roofed with bark or skin set in panels that could be added or removed for ventilation, heating, and cooling. Evidence of the many complex buildings with fiber-based roofing material was not rediscovered until the early 2000s. French and British settlers built temporary thatched dwellings with local vegetation as soon as they arrived in New France and New England, but covered more permanent houses with wooden shingles.
In most of England, thatch remained the only roofing material available to the bulk of the population in the countryside, in many towns and villages, until the late 1800s. Commercial distribution of Welsh slate began in 1820, and the mobility provided by canals and then railways made other materials readily available. Still, the number of thatched properties actually increased in the UK during the mid-1800s as agriculture expanded, but then declined again at the end of the 19th century because of agricultural recession and rural depopulation. A 2013 report estimated that there were 60,000 properties in the UK with a thatched roof; they are usually made of long straw, combed wheat reed or water reed.
Gradually, thatch became a mark of poverty, and the number of thatched properties gradually declined, as did the number of professional thatchers. Thatch has become much more popular in the UK over the past 30 years, and is now a symbol of wealth rather than poverty. There are approximately 1,000 full-time thatchers at work in the UK, and thatching is becoming popular again because of the renewed interest in preserving historic buildings and using more sustainable building materials.
With nesting material. This tiny bird has only one shot to raise a family each spring, and for a bird that may only live for three years, each of those shots need to count. Unlike blackbirds, robins and many other garden birds, blue tits are usually able to raise just a single brood of chicks each spring, carefully timing the hatching of their eggs to the bud burst of trees and the explosion of caterpillar prey that comes with it. The female Blue Tit builds the nest alone with little or no help from the male.

En fechas veraniegas como es en el caso de dicha captura. Tuve la oportunidad de poder ofrecerme unas merecidas vacaciones en mi querido pueblo Villasur, Provincia de Castilla y León. Uno de eso tal días donde podía realmente tener mi merecido tiempo, Así fue. Normalmente y por si acaso me lleve mi equipo de fotografía. Aprovechando esos días me pase a unos lugares donde realmente nunca había explorado y menos poder sacar alguna foto que otra. Mirando y explorando como no con GPS actuales. Realmente era necesario. En mi opinión he tenido que buscarme la vida para poder encontrar algo de ferrocarril cerca de donde estaba. Como veis en este caso en la localización exactamente en Dueñas, A fueras de Valladolid, No me esperaba algo así, Fue una autentica pasada de sitio. Es que positiva mente opino que lo tenia todo lo bueno, El terreno, La luminosidad, Margen de espacio. En fin sin palabras. Cabe decir que a lo lejos veremos la Estación de Dueñas actualmente. Después de estar normalmente 2 duras horas a pleno sol de la tarde, Un día de diario pudimos ver bastante movimiento. La verdad es que me sorprendió. Como podéis ver en la captura ya con las ultimas luces de la tarde. Debo recalcar que en mis carpetas de archivos no suelo tener normalmente cazado este tipo de circulaciones, Es mas casi prácticamente imposible poder cazar este tipo de composición exacta en Vizcaya. Como podéis ver pude cazar a estas doble Primas 333.392+333.345 formándose un bonito bobinero corto, A muy buena marcha minutos mas antes de salir de Venta de Baños. Con destino a Salamanca.

Después de fotografiarlo en la estación de Santa Eulália (con luz bastante pésima), tocó echar una carrera para cazarlo en el siguiente punto donde tendria una luz aceptable, ya que el horario del traslado y la dificultad de sitios de la línea sumados a un contraluz hacía realmente difícil defenderse con esta pieza para que saliera el frontal mínimamente iluminado.
Ahí le vemos habiendo dejado Assumar a pocos kilómetros, aproximándose a Portalegre, donde me tocó iniciar el regreso a España, no sin antes fotografiar el Allan saliendo de Elvas.
